My personal favourite is this one http://www.amazon.com/Made-Italy-Stories-Giorgio-Locatelli/dp/0061351490/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397889337&sr=8-1&keywords=Made+in+italy+giorgio+locatelli
It even comes recommended by Gordon Ramsey.
It goes a bit beyond just giving recipes and techniques, by telling stories from the author's youth and career. This actually makes it quite an inspiring book, and the recipes I've tried from that book have been fantastic. (Although the gelato nocciole wouldn't freeze :) )
the mcgee book is a technical reference. it's pretty much the exact opposite of what you're seeking.
the ottolenghi books are good. add "plenty" to that.
i hear good things about made in italy.
many of the phaidon cookbooks might fit the bill.

“Risotto is something that I do for friends when they turn up unexpectedly – because what do you need for a basic risotto? Rice, stock, Parmesan … and from when you start adding the stock it should take only around 17 to 18 minutes for the rice to be cooked correctly (that is for 4 portions – the rule is the more rice you cook, the less time it takes, because the rice retains more heat). What I do with new chefs when we go through the risotto for the first time is set an alarm clock for 17 minutes, from that point, so that they can get a feel for the timing”
